^^^Voting based upon policy instead of mindless party loyalty is always the correct course of action.

Why would it? We do not know the who, or why behind the mailings, so why would it affect our votes?

No.

But I didn't vote in this poll because the the second parts of the poll choices are not applicable since one can vote for 3rd party candidates or combination of Dems, Republicans, and 3rds.

You mean like the US, Mexico and Canada signing a new NAFTA?



Did you vote Republican when Obama sat back and allowed our trade policies put the USA on the crap end of the stick?

Did you vote republican when Obama sat back and allowed our trade deficits to continue with every nation?

Did you vote republican when Obama sat back and allowed China was stealing US business's intellectual property?

Now that Trump is trying to make world trade more equitable, so the US does not experience huge trade deficits, this is what is making you upset and voting Democrat????? That does not make sense, whatsoever.

You'd rather we go back to trade deficits under Obama, and allow China to keep stealing patents, blueprints, and industrial secrets, and stealing our intellectual property???

No. But, I rarely vote a straight ticket so I could not choose a poll option.

Agree. It could be a lone wolf doing it because of ??? As a matter of fact, that is more likely than not the case, although the timing seems more than coincidental. Bombers are a very strange breed of criminal though, unlike most criminals, who have a monetary or love motive for their crimes. Bombers are usually male, white, in their 20s-30s, of high intelligence, unmarried loners with few friends, and their motive for their crime is often political or even unknown. It takes a cold, cruel person to kill (or even threaten) strangers.

Considering I don't know if I will be voting on Election Day, I doubt it did.
